Help wont start after 24 hours!!

Ok a little history- replaced alternator with Nissan one-also replaced battery at the same time-In Oct 06. Since then I have had the battery replaced for free from Advance Auto parts because if I dont drive the car everyday- the battery is completely dead the next day?? Can some one please help me find the problem- its starting to get really old. Also I have nothing aftermarket and have owned the car for the past 6 years and never had a problem until the alternator went out. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your battery again....go back and get a refund on the battery and spend a bit more money on an Optima Red Top and never look back

Measure the current draw from the battery when the car is off. It should be next to nothing. If it's excessive, pull the fuses until you find the circuit that is causing the draw. Once you find the circuit causing the draw, troubleshoot it.

The Haynes shop manual has excellent wiring diagrams.
